We're naturally drawn to things that we find strange because they challenge our perceptions of what is normal; stimulating our imaginations or allowing us a comfortable amount of anxiety. In this call for submissions we want to see art that is weird, bizarre, mysterious, eerie or unsettling in some way!

Calls are open to all local, domestic, national and international professional and amateur artists. All art mediums will be considered in this call for submissions, from photography, wall sculpture, fabric, mixed media, all paintings and drawings including, oil, acrylic, pastels, ink, graphite, etc. Sizes up to 12 feet are acceptable. Work must be able to be hung on a wall to be considered for the live exhibition. Freestanding 3D artworks will be displayed online only. We are now accepting video and poetry entries for online shows.

Accepted entries for this online exhibition will be judged again in the coming months for a collective live exhibition at our Los Angeles gallery. The artists will be asked if they wish to submit their artwork for the collective exhibition, which is not a requirement to being a part of the online exhibition.

We are very excited to announce that the annual Manifest Prize (ONE) award is increasing to $5,000 for this forthcoming 6th annual award. This underscores our non-profit organization's strong desire to reward, showcase, celebrate, and document the most exceptional artwork being made today, and to do this in a tasteful non-commercial public context. Further, the award is intended to incentivize the creation of excellent work and to make a significant impact on artists' careers. Manifest's mission is centered on championing the importance of quality in visual art. This project is one aspect of the realization of our mission.

With this Manifest is opening the project to a nearly year-round submission process, pausing only a couple months to process the jury through a large panel of volunteer jurors from around the U.S. and beyond, and then to select and present the prize winner at the gallery.

The entry process for the 6th annual Manifest Prize award (and ONE exhibit) is now open.

Open to works of any media, any genre/style, any size...

There are no restrictions on submissions to The Manifest Prize. Artists who have submitted to or been included in previous Manifest projects are always welcome to submit to any future project, including the Manifest Prize.

Works submitted must have been completed within the past five years (2010-2015 for the 6th Manifest Prize).

IMPORTANT! Works submitted MUST be available for the exhibition period of early December through mid-January in order to be eligible for the prize. Submission constitutes a formal agreement to provide the work for exhibit should it be selected.

Jury Process: Manifest's normal selection process involves a complex two-part system. This exhibit will be juried by an anonymous 7-15 member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise. Because of the nature of this project, works approved by the first jury will be passed through a second, and possibly a third jury round, with jurors being shuffled from round to round. The work receiving the highest average score will be awarded the prize. The five next highest scorers will be the runners up. Juror comments will be posted in the gallery and in the Manifest Exhibition Annual.

In addition to the cash prize and solo feature gallery exhibit at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, the prizewinner will have multiple pages devoted to their winning work in the season-documenting Manifest Exhibition Annual (MEA) hardcover publication, including artist's statement, bio, and jury statements. Five semi-finalists will have their selected works included in the MEA as well.

Videos have recently appeared showing shocking violence by police against unarmed citizens, forcing all of us to address our ignorance and denial, as well as to ask about the nature of institutionalized racism. ARC wants to begin a conversation about these events. ARC is looking for work that evokes what it feels like to find oneself targeted, in a suffocating space, or unheard. This also includes work that addresses how one might imagine that grip to be loosened, or what it might look like to begin to listen.

SUBMISSIONBelieving that all voices are valuable as we learn to listen to each other, this juried show is open to anyone who wishes to apply regardless of ability to pay. ARC asks for a donation by those who feel they can contribute.

Smack Mellon reviews submissions from Emerging Artists wishing to have their work considered. The work will be reviewed and considered for the Emerging Artists Summer Show by Smack Mellon staff and the show's curator Erin Donnelly, Smack Mellon's Programs Manager.

The theme for this year is the 2016 election. The summer of 2016 when the exhibition will be held will be marked by the Democratic National Convention July 25-28 in Philadelphia and the Republican National Convention July 18-21 in Cleveland where the two dominant political parties in our country will announce their bids for the presidency in the race up to the election on November 8.

The event of the 2016 electoral process is a jumping off point for the exhibition to critically examine current national politics from personal, social, and cultural perspectives. Artists are encouraged to investigate the issues that define political platforms such as the economy, distribution of income, foreign affairs policy, race relations, healthcare, immigration and how government functions, among other topics. Collectively, the works in the exhibition will offer various viewpoints on democracy and the political process in America.

Submissions of work in all media will be considered. Proposals for new projects are especially sought after, as the issues will be debated in the coming months. Smack Mellon is interested in proposals that consider the unusual architecture of the gallery space and encourages site-specific projects. If you are applying with a site-specific project, there will be an area in the online submission form for additional materials. When proposing a new work, please visit the gallery to understand the parameters of the space. Proposals for events are also welcome.

Last year we continued our ongoing series of exhibitions designed around cinema as a translated medium. The exhibition, Cinema 05, surpassed our expectations in terms of quality and diversity of the submissions. It was exciting to see how various artists incorporated cinema into their work, whether referencing specific films, genres or cinematic process itself. After the final selections were made, the exhibition consisted of work by 17 artists from 11 cities in 4 countries* and was very well received by the thousands who viewed the work in the gallery and online.

This year, we continue with Cinema 06. We look forward to another great round of submissions.

All pieces should reference cinema in some way. Work may reference a specific film, director, director's body of work, film genre or movement, etc. Work may also reference cinematic process or the visual language of cinema.

There are no specific size requirements, but anything overly large or small (over six feet/under ten inches) may limit the appeal of the piece in the exhibition.

All pieces should be ready to hang/display (no sawtooth hangers please). Works on paper and photography should be framed behind glass or plexiglass, unless an alternate presentation is contextual to the piece.

Email images (preferably jpgs), with dimensions, medium, title and artist's contact information to gallery@kennethpaullesko.com. Please use "Cinema 06 Submission" as your subject. There are no specific requirements concerning resolution, though anything under three megapixels may limit the ability to enlarge details.

These guidelines are meant to be flexible. Painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography and installation will all be considered. Submissions are fairly open-ended, if you have a piece that doesn't fall into the described parameters, but you think it works with the exhibition, send us an email.

Deadline for submissions is Friday, August 28th, 11:59pm. Accepted artists will be notified on or before August 31st. Pieces must be shipped to arrive no later than September 14th.

stARTup Art Fair Los Angeles is an independently produced fair for unrepresented artists. If you are a professional, working visual artist without gallery representation - we invite you to apply.

This three-day fair will run January 29-31 at the Highland Gardens Hotel in Hollywood, and take place at the same time as the nearby LA Art Show and Art Los Angeles Contemporary Art gallery fairs. Participating artists will have a fantastic opportunity to expose new work to a myriad of collectors, curators, gallery owners, art consultants, and writers who will be coming to the city for a weekend of contemporary art.

One of the core missions of stARTup Art Fair is to provide a new avenue for the creative longevity of the visual artist, providing a marketplace that gives artists the power to present and sell work on their own terms. All sales proceeds, as well as professional contacts made during the fair, belong 100% to the artists. Applications will be reviewed by a Selection Committee, consisting of seven diverse art world professionals:

At some point many generations ago society reached a level where ordinary people could spend a lifetime perfecting their ability to mix and apply paint, in extraordinary ways.

To launch its 12th season Manifest is establishing FRESH PAINT as a permanent biennial project. It was first presented in fall 2013 to inaugurate our expanded gallery.

FRESH PAINT joins Drawn as a recurring gallery exhibit designed to complement our annual INDA and INPA (drawing and painting) book projects. Every two years it will launch our exhibit season by presenting a competitive group exhibition focused exclusively on painting.

FRESH PAINT is a gallery exhibit that calls for works of painting by artists around the world as they carry the tradition forward, or reform it for another day.

This exhibit has no predefined expectation for type, style, or media of work to be considered or selected. Submissions can range from the traditional to the most conceptual, abstract, or experimental. The only criteria beyond excellent quality is that works must in some way represent an approach to painting.

Space and Time Artist Residency at Guttenberg Arts provides artists with a $3,000USD stipend to cover material, travel, and housing in conjunction with 24/7 access to a 4,500sqft. professionally equipped workspace for the visual arts including printmaking, dark room and ceramics for three months in Guttenberg, New Jersey (West New York). Artists will also be given a one month solo show as well as three studio visits from accomplished professionals from the art world. Each artist is asked to give a free public workshop and artist talk during their residency. We highly recommend a site visit to our building. Artists are selected by a blind jury of arts professionals on the merits of their work.
